Of Greetings And Goodbyes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Priestess 

Cover art for Of Greetings And Goodbyes lyrics by AFI

For me, this song is about being a social misfit and dreamer, embracing a world of fantasy. The references to the "secret show" remind me of Clive Barker's novel "The Great and Secret Show." It is perhaps about being a writer, musician, or performer of some kind and connecting with others. "Enter all the monsters, let us twist another fairytale." I also find it a very romantic song, that conjures up images of 19th century opera houses / theaters, crimson curtains draped over deserted stages, secret rooms and underground passageways. A lover tucking you into bed, ready to transcend into this magnificent dream world somewhere between fantasy and reality.
